Chapter 53: Pouring water on someone and making things worse! It's so funny to suffer the consequences of one's own actions
The smile on Grandma Zhao's face disappeared instantly. It seemed that this happened quite often.
This woman should be the wife of the man who runs the tailor shop next door. She is a bit ugly, with thick powder and lipstick on her face. She is dressed in red all over, which makes her look very out of place.
The woman walked around and finally stopped in front of the little girl. She thought that such a thin girl would be easy to bully, so she screamed.
"Old lady, why don't you just close your shop and go back to enjoy the blessings of your children?"
"I've said before that I'll quit after two more years. The policy is good now and I want to earn a little more money to support my children and the family. I'm not standing at the door soliciting business, so how can I possibly take your job!" Grandma Zhao put the selected clothes on the counter without being humble or arrogant.
The woman stepped forward and wanted to throw the clothes on the ground, but Su Jinxia quickly reached out to stop her.
"These clothes are mine, don't throw them on the floor!"
The woman was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Hey, little girl, you didn't pay for the clothes, so how can they be yours? Besides, there is a tailor shop next door. My husband is a good tailor. Why don't you come to my house to make clothes? This old shop only makes old styles, and my house only makes new styles. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
Su Jinxia stood up and said, "Auntie, I don't need your clothes. Go back to where you came from."
Grandma Zhao was a little surprised. This girl was very brave. Most people would be scared by the appearance of this woman. They would either not buy it or go to her house to buy it.
The woman looked puzzled, "Then don't regret it!"
"Goodbye!" Su Jinxia replied. Seeing that the smile on the woman's face could no longer be maintained, she twisted her body and walked out of the house.
"Little girl, why don't you go to another tailor shop? Old Li's tailor shop on the front street can also make clothes. The price is also very affordable. But don't go to his shop.
They are more treacherous. The fabric they show you is different from the finished fabric of the garment, or they deliberately make it smaller or larger, and then charge you for processing fees."
Su Jinxia knew that there was competition among businesses, but she didn't expect that the other party would cut corners.
"So no one noticed?"
"They found very few, and they didn't run into tough guys. Men pretended and women cried, and that's how it happened."
"So this is it. You help me pack these clothes, and then I'll calculate how much I want to pay for them and how many cloth coupons I'll give you!"
"Okay, I'll calculate it for you!" Grandma Zhao was very happy that she had made a big deal today. If clothes were hung for too long, the fabric would become worse and worse, so it would be better to sell them to people to wear.
I did some calculations and found that I could make a small profit while still maintaining my capital.
"Just give me 15 yuan, plus three cloth coupons!"
Su Jinxia took out her wallet and rummaged through it to find the money and cloth coupons. At that time, supplies were in short supply, so cloth was very expensive.
This is why there is a song that goes, three years new, three years old, and another three years of sewing and mending. It is no exaggeration to say that a piece of clothing can be worn for nine years, until the fabric is completely unwearable.
As for underwear, she didn't need to buy them. She had some stored in her space and could use them first and buy them later when she went to a big city.
After settling the bill, I watched Grandma Zhao pile the clothes together, wrap them in newspapers, and finally tie them up with a rope and tied a tight knot before giving them to her.
So she went out with her things in her hand, and when she was about to pass by the door of her house, she felt some turbulence and immediately took a step back.
She saw a basin of red water rushing past her, falling to the ground, and instantly dyeing the ground red.
The woman was very disappointed that the water didn't hit anyone.
Su Jinxia took a step forward and looked at the basin in the woman's hand. The angry expression on her face explained everything: she had splashed the water on purpose.
"What does this mean?"
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped and the water spilled out! Are you okay?"
"You are the one in trouble, your whole family is in trouble!"
"Little girl, how can you talk like that? I didn't mean it. I'm sorry!"
"That's what I'm saying. If you don't like it, you don't have to listen!"
The woman got so angry that she threw the basin away.
Su Jinxia dodged and the basin was thrown directly onto the road. As luck would have it, a bicycle came by and the basin hit the other party directly.
The man fell to the ground instantly and fell headfirst.
The glasses fell to the ground and broke, and the man's face also hit the ground, and his nose started bleeding instantly.
"You threw this pot, why don't you hurry over here!"
The woman was furious, "I was going to hit you, who told you to hide? If you didn't hide, this basin wouldn't have hit him!"
When the woman saw the person lying on the ground stand up, she panicked and rushed over to help him.
"Director, I'm sorry! My hand slipped and the basin flew out. I'm sorry it hit you!"
"Don't you have eyes? How could you do such a thing? You've ruined me!" The man cursed, his eyes blurry. He only knew his general location and the person who was talking to him, who should be the owner of the tailor shop.
As for the girl who was talking next to him, he couldn't see clearly. He was the one who got into trouble when they quarreled. Was there any place for him to seek justice? He really wanted to seek justice. How could such a bad thing happen to him?
"You'll suffer the consequences if you do evil." Su Jinxia left after saying this.
When the woman saw the man leaving, she screamed twice and wanted to chase him, but she was worried that no one would be in charge of the street director. She had no choice but to send the man to the hospital first.
In my heart, I blamed the old lady who worked in the shop next door. She was so old, why did she stay in the tailor shop instead of going back home to retire?
If they were the only one doing business on this street, their business would definitely be better.
Su Jinxia walked to a deserted place, put her clothes in the space, and then went to the state-owned hotel. This trip back and forth wasted quite a bit of time.
I bought 10 meat buns and 10 vegetarian buns each. Considering the weather was good, I also bought 10 steamed buns. The pickled vegetables were good, so I bought some more. Finally, I came to the salted meat. I asked about the price and thought it was good. I also bought a pound of beef and pork head.
The little girl's willingness to buy attracted the manager's attention.
"Girl, where are you from? Do you need anything else?"
"I don't need anything for now. I'll come back to you if I need anything."
Su Jinxia was thinking about going to the black market in the next two days, so she prepared some food for her grandfather. Then she would stay at home for more than a month, and then go to the countryside as an educated youth like in her previous life. It's not that she didn't suffer, but there was her missed youth!
As for how other people outside view her, it is not within her consideration. She needed to be a good child in the eyes of others in her previous life, but she absolutely does not need it in this life!
